I have also picked up Paul Biglow (no e again) in the 1880 Solomon Cloud
Co KS census with wife and children.
BIGLOW
Paul 40 NY NY CT laborer
Mary C 29 IL PA IN
James 10 IA NY IL
Millard 5 IA NY IL
This James and Millard are given to be the brothers Jess or Jesse. So
it all fits. Problem- I've looked and looked to find a Mary Gustus or Mary
Bigelow or Biglow in the state census for IA, KS, NE... and in the
federal census IA, NE, KS in both 1900 and 1910 and have not yet found anyone.
This seems odd. Maybe we are misreading the Gustus name??? or the family is
split up because Paul died??? Not sure.... will have to keep looking. Did
located Millard Begelow in 1900 Belle Parairie Fillmore Co NE... wife
Clara son Dewitt... also found them in later census 1910 Sharon Springs Wallace
co, KS and 1920 Payette Payette Co ID. Had a dead end on James, the older
brother. Jesse apparently had a first wife named Nettie (WWI Draft Card)
then was listed as widowed in the 1920... other researches give his 2nd wife
as Judith Peterson which fits with the 1930 Council Bluff Pottawattamie Co
IA census.
